While you could argue that they could, it is not the way the cylinders were designed/engineered (and therefore not the way the cylinder was designed to operate safely) and generally, not in compliance with the appropriate regulations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes, that is exactly the type of tank you should be using if you are going to store it “on its side”. The problem is the price you have to pay for this tank, for a tank that will have to be requalified at a cost) in less than ten years, not to mention the challenges you will have it getting it...

I use an Axis F44 camera system, primarily for security. Two cameras mounted on the sides, one to the rear and one mounted as a dash cam. It’s not cheap but works extremely well, can be triggered by motion and are remotely accessible over a network connection. To view either live footage or...

For what it’s worth, I was a Federal Dangerous Goods guy for over a decade and I doubt you will get a solid answer from a Canadian or US DOT guy because in addition to the Federal requirements which may not apply to “us” because we aren’t transporting “for hire”, most of the requirements are...

If by horizontally, you mean on its side, the legality will vary a great deal between “jurisdiction”, which can be at the state or province level in some cases, or county or town level for others. It will be really hard for you to get the legality answer. The real answer is whether it’s safe or...

I use two RAM Mounts for my iPad Pro 12.9” in my rig - I use an X-Grip mount to hold the iPad when I use it as a TV/media player or using the iPad for planning, etc. but to hold the iPad while in motion/on the go, I use a RAM Roll-in mount specifically for the iPad Pro because it can hold it...

Aside from the potentially very serious risk you raise that the community should be made aware of, I was also struck by how ironic it was for “site staff” from the other forum to be taking what they feel was appropriate action for a post, that was among other things, made by someone anonymously...

I ran into the same issue when I installed a curved light at on the front of my roof rack. I nearly eliminated any noise by creating a sort of a clamshell to close the void behind the light bar. It wasn’t cheap or easy but I tried a bunch of other solutions I found online and this is the...

I’m certainly not the most experienced or knowledgeable Ham out there (I’m at best a Noob) but have the FTM400 and use it for exactly the same type of use you are considering. We live full time on the road and had planned to drive the PanAm starting in 2019 …. Well, maybe we’ll start this year...

Great ideas and conventions in here Dave [emoji106] Just a comment that yellow is often used as the DC negative colour (instead of black) in the marine world to avoid confusion with the black hot wire when AC systems are also present. This is the recommended practice by the ABYC Code. Sent...

I installed these on my rig and I’m quite pleased. I ran into an issue with the actuator cable used in the early units and the Thunderbolt team provided outstanding service, overnighted the replacement cables they now use. It’s a great solution to secure the doors without attracting...

Looking forward to seeing you put this battery set together. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One option I’ve played with for this and other similar reasons is to setup a telephone number with a VoIP provider (I use VoIP.ms) to keep one phone number in my “home” area code that I can use using a soft-phone. The provider offers me a dirt cheap phone number with voice mail and also allows...

I have the FTM-400 connected to APRS.fi, the app, running on my iPad and iPhone using a Mobilinkd TNC (the most recent version as the previous versions don’t work with iOS). Works really quite well, can display the data from the radio and the data from the internet together (handy if you want...

I can only speak to APRS.Fi, the app on iOS, but the phone does not need a SIM card or plan. If you have data over wifi, the maps will load from there. I’m not sure about downloading maps for offline use inside Apple Maps to allow use inside the APRS.fi iOS app. I’ll have to try and see if...

I don’t think it’s intended to encourage current Mini owners to upgrade but bring the Mini in line with current InReach device - like using Explore, upgrading the radios and batteries, etc. The move to Explore is an improvement, but still a long ways from the app I’d like [emoji2369] Sent...

To add to Jim’s answer, I use the APRS.fi app on my iPad and iPhones, using a Mobilink as well. So, you can do iOS but unfortunately the availability of offline maps is non-existent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Loved my Exped MegaMat Duo but for extended travel or full time travel, it’s not ideal. You really need to inflate it/top it up every day or two, and because it’s inflated temperature changes and large elevation changes affect its comfort level. That said, I still haven’t found a great full...

Another vote for the Coolgear USB-C units. 60W +, fully compliant, provides high amperage USB-A as well. Works well to power my MacBook Pro as well as charge all my USB-C gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Maybe the business model is to use the custom, high quality designs and products from GXV to expand the mass market products that Storyteller is producing or planning to produce. It’s definitely a big move with quite some risk but it’s also a reasonable evolution (albeit a big step) of how...
